    May 2, 2020 - Mid+ mahogany to a brick red rim. Tertiary elements alongside a hint of volatility: liquorice, raisin, leather and dark chocolate. A higher tone balsamic note (like aged Modena) appears 10-15 minutes later. Rather developed on the palate with a rich texture, full-bodied, lively acidity, and sinewy yet sweet tannins. Lots of dry undergrowth, ashtray and cola sweets. As the wine evolves in glass the tannins become leathery. Drink up.

    December 31, 2016 - Very well made wine and true to what I understand they are trying to do. So a real winter wine with lots of stewed and dark fruit from nose to last taste. Long and lingering with plenty of oomph ( actually too much now for me). The challenge is now the New World can do v similar wines and often with a great degree of complexity

    September 28, 2016 - A fine example of Amarone. Not the most complex, but the traditional substance and texture are present. Black earth and hints of smoke dried fruits throughout.

    March 31, 2014 - Smells like honey - a little musty and sweet.

    Dry on the palate, rich dense ruby colour that belies the lightness on the palate.

    It needs a bit of time to breath and knock a bit of the hot alcohol off.
    It's technically all there but as a whole the flavour is lacking something - even with a rich lamb stew it was just on the north side of nice but not great.

    May 31, 2013 - - Crimsom color. It's lacking fruit with a medium body. Round texture with a medium finish - Decent Amarone; missing more flavors to balance the acidity; a bit improved on 2nd day but still not a great one.
